I arrived at the test station at 10am in a mad rush because I had miscalculated some appointments.

As we celebrate our 6th anniversary we decided to write a short post about our journey. It’s something we plan to do every year. This is the first of many posts to come about our marriage and how the gospel of grace has worked its way in and through our lives.
